It’s possible, if you eat Quinoa, Bruschetta, or almonds, just to name a few, you might be in for a shock.

Chances are if your parents mispronounce a certain food you will too, and as a result you might not even know it. One day, perhaps, someone will try and correct you but in that instance you will likely disagree with them… after all, you’ve been saying pass-tah instead of pah-stuh your entire life!
